A gift to my children

This book has less than 100 pages. So you can finish it within 2 hours. I've read twice - first reading was last year and reread this week just to refresh the idea. It's about some advices and guidelines given by the author (Jim Rogers) to his daughters. Among the "tips" for life and investing are: - You decide what you want to do and to be. Don't let others do the thinking for you. - Focus on what you like. The rest will come as you work. - Be a self-starter, pay attention to the details and live your life with a dream. - Think and analyze, as common sense is not so common. - Learn others' culture and history to get a better and unbiased perspective. - Learn languages (and make sure that Mandarin is one of them). - This is the century of China. Invest in China. - Know yourself by understanding your weakness and acknowledging any mistakes. - Recognize change and embrace it. Look to the future.

Definitely will try the other premium list in the menu in the near future. By the way, the outlet is always packed. At some points, it does look like
